We can make it if we try, and memes can help.

In fact, this being the site that it is, we have to say that there is a strong argument to be made that looking at silly pictures, text, and videos is one of the best things about being alive today, especially when you are going through something. It isn’t just about the pure distraction that it provides; it is also the fact that it is entirely possible to find a piece of media that perfectly describes the period that you are going through, no matter whether it is good or bad.

There is real value in being able to laugh at yourself in whatever scenario, and memes are great for that. At different times we all end up being the girl who is going to be OK, and, cringe as it is, that is also kind of beautiful. Humor is here for us no matter what, and that is something that remains a constant with internet culture no matter how many changes that it goes through.

It is also convenient that this gives us a fantastic excuse to keep on scrolling, even when we know deep down that we probably shouldn’t. We never know when we are next going to stumble upon something that really speaks to us, and makes all the totally meaningless entertainment worthwhile. It is a small moment like that which reminds us we might just be able to make things work out in our favor after all.
